We have a population of 140,000 taking on a county with a population of 1.5 million a county that defeated an empire if you don't mind.

Majority of Galway tackling is a foul - they have manged to escape 2 reds - Smith being the less obvious one

They are in a great position and are getting the breaks. Managing to get some unreal points. Cann they do it?

Ah the old 'population' argument. Because all 1.5 million are from Dublin. We've no foreigners or people from the other 31 counties living here. You're bang on.

How about the 5 million the GAA gave ye to develope hurling and football in dublin about 3-4 years ago while the rest of us get the scraps, ye get every advantage going and ya we have foreign people in Kerry as well and we have people from other counties so that argument don't wash. Ye won't be allowed to lose the final cause the GAA has too much invested in ye.

Last week and yesterday when Mayo ran at Dublin defence Dunlin panicked, they were rattled and should have been finished off, Dublin are useless under pressure, Mayo threw the replay away due to the stupidity of Mayo management, Kerry are too cute and won't mess around like Mayo and have a good manager and management team something Mayo are lacking, Kerry to win easily, a 1 sided final. Kerry by 12 points

What age you ? A child then I get it , more likely a bitter adult , and were all supposed to feel sorry for you guys ? You do know those useless under pressure players you speak of have all reland and league medals ? Well enjoy school or work tomorrow I know I will .

Cian O Sullivan hamstring is a major concern if he's out that's huge he is probably our best player.

You have nearly double the population of Kilkenny , how come your shi7 at hurling ?

Ye are away with the fairies, Dublin were rattled when Mayo went 4pts up and Mayo management made the stupid decision to take off our 2 midfielders after O'Shea got blackcarded, that was footballing suicide, Dubs used their bench to great effect but were handed midfield on a plate and made hay and rightly so. No sour grapes from me, we deserved to lose, when you have no proper game plan and panicky on the sideline you get beaten pure and simple, I wish both teams and supporters the best in the final but if Kerry rattle Dublin the same way Mayo did early in the 2nd half there will only be 1 winner, Kerry, if I'm wrong I'm wrong simple

Its a perfect final when all is said and done. Te 2 best teams are in it. There is potentially a shoot out, or a game of chess, it is impossible to fall on either side of the fence on this one, so it most likely will be a tactical game.

For the first time that I can ever remember both teams are so evenly matched and so equal in terms of routes to finals, that neither team can play poor mouth on being underdog. This is reflected in the bookies.

I also think that there is a massive game left in Cooper, which could well prove to be the final in 2 weeks time. I am not sure how dublin will handle a kerry team who run straight at them, but the converse is also the case. Kerry dont like to be run at either.

As far as I can evaluate, the team who makes the least number of mistakes will probably come through. A counter attack after possession is given away is the key to this years all ireland. Concentration for 70 minutes is vital.

Dublin have a great chance to set themselves up as team of the teens, whilst kerry can do the coveted 2 in a row which in itself is a massive achievement in the modern game. So there is something extra at stake here in terms of bragging rites on top of an all ireland.

We aren't shi7 at hurling we are developing hurling within the county without the aid of a 5 million hand out from the GAA.
Dublin can't lose the football final not a hope .
By the way what's ye'r excuse for being shi7 at hurling?

It is a hard one to call, O'Sullivan did his hammer yesterday and must be a doubt for the final. Kerry have to be slight favs

SLLY I suppose there could be a first time for everything but I doubt it, rumor has it that coldrick has got the final so ye have home advantage ye'l have the home support ye'l have the hill and a Leinster ref as well plus ye'r players can do what they want and get off the hook . The GAA should have saved us all a load of hassle and just given ye the Sam maguire yesterday, the GAA won't allow ye to lose in a rugby worldcup year, they'd lose too many Dublin young fellas to rugby ;-)

KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - 06/09/2015 14:53:07

Enough said lad,sure ye even have the Tyrone Lads lapping up to ye now , I'd say its two in a row in the bag for ye all day long and we won't get a call to save our lives.Ye have the connections that will give ye the nod.;-)

Well we are in Division 1 and Liam Mc in spite of the GAA's efforts to stop us.

Also we dont receives multi millions from the GAA and sponsors and don't have 1.5 million people to draw from.

Doing pretty well in both codes given our limited resources in my humble opinion

Both Kerry and Dublin are more than capable of losing/winning

Kerry posters already proving they are worried
